Identity defines and shapes us all - and if we don't know who we are - or don't accept who we are, it is easy to feel lost and even harder to see a way forward. Dan Te Whenua Walker is a child of two cultures - born to a Scottish father and a Maori mother, growing up he says he struggled to find a sense of belonging. But the love and support of his kuia - on both sides of his family - helped to connect him to his roots and set him on the right path. Dan, of Ngati Ruanui, is now Senior Partner Development Manager and the first global co-chair for Indigenous at Microsoft - a group that empowers employees to share, support and celebrate indigenous culture. He talks to Mihingarangi about finding his place in the world - and his plan to shape AI using Te Ao Maori.

Two of New Zealand's most well-known and celebrated creative voices have come together for a new staging of the iconic play Woman Far Walking. Written by Witi Ihimaera and directed by Katie Wolfe, the play follows the life of a Maori woman born in 1840, the year the treaty of Waitangi was signed, as she travels through our history. This version of the play is called Tiri: Te Araroa Woman Far Walking, and it has an updated script with English and te reo Maori weaved together. Katie Wolfe chats to Jesse.

Ten migrants are finishing up a ten-week bilingual course in te reo Maori and English that is believed to be the first of its kind in New Zealand. The pilot programme, based in Rotorua, has helped them build confidence in speaking, presenting and connecting through both languages. It's a collaboration between Speech New Zealand, Te Tatau o Te Arawa and the Rotorua Multicultural Council with funding covered by Immigration New Zealand. Paz Coloma, who is from Chile, has completed the course and joins Jesse.

Explain this to me. Which clause of the Treaty is the Waitangi Tribunal using when they suggest the Government recognise second generation Maori for citizenship? John Ruddock brought the case, while a similar one got headlines recently because it involved Keisha Castle-Hughes, the actress. In her case she was born in Australia to a New Zealand mum. Her children were born in America, hence they don't get automatic citizenship. Ruddock was born in Australia and got citizenship by descent. But his children were born offshore as well and descent only operates to one generation. This is not a new law, it's not a surprise. It's been this way for decades. So the tribunal hears the case and decides the law needs changing. But my question is, on what basis? Is the tribunal not there, however loosely, to interpret the Treaty? Where in the Treaty does it talk of generational descent issues? Under what clause does it talk of being born in Australia? Of course, it doesn't. Because it was written in the 1800's and it is, at best, vague, which leaves it open to interpretation. So the question for the here and now is how much so-called "law" is going on here versus ideology. Law is developed, if not by the Parliament, by regular courts when they see a gap. They interpret. The recent foreshore drama is a good example. The 2011 law was explicit. The court simply didn't like it so they suggested change and the Government had to step in. But the Waitangi Tribunal, which remember has no actual legal power, seems merely to make things up. One generation isn't enough so let's make it two. Why not four? Why not make it really easy and anyone who remotely feels Maori can claim citizenship for any number of offspring, no matter where they were born, as long as it feels right? Where does the Treaty stop and the improvisation start? Thank goodness the Government are not going to do anything about it. But that's this Government. What about another Government? And what are the historic, long-term consequences of a tribunal that's running roughshod? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Waitangi Tribunal is recommending the government expand citizenship rights to second generation Maori born overseas after complaints the current system is racist and ignores tangta whenua's whakapaka. John Bryers Ruddock who is Ngapuhi took an urgent case to the tribunal after returning to Aotearoa with his three children only to find they are not citizens; instead classed as overstaying. Actor Keisha Castle-Hughes, went through the same process with daughter who was born in New York and gave evidence at the hearing. Her Lawyer Season-Mary Downs spoke to Lisa Owen.

In der neuen Podcastreihe "Globale Zukünfte" fragt Michael, ob es Orte auf der Welt gibt, von denen aus sich die großen Krisen unserer Zeit – Klima, Politik, Gesellschaft – neu denken lassen. Fünf Länder auf fünf Kontinenten sollen dafür den Blick weiten. Den Anfang macht Neuseeland: weit entfernt und doch nah an unseren Zukunftsfragen.Ein Land, das sich einst als "besseres Britannien" verstand, ringt heute mit seiner eigenen Gegenwart. Gesprächspartner Patrick Köllner, Direktor des GIGA-Instituts für Asienstudien Hamburg, zeichnet Neuseeland als Ort voller Widersprüche: einst Vorreiter des Sozialstaats, heute Spielball neoliberaler Kräfte. Die Kühe, Symbol für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg, sind zugleich die Methanquellen eines ökologischen Rückschritts. Eine Klimapolitik, die sich der Agrarlobby beugt, ist Sinnbild für eine verlorene Zukunftsorientierung.Gleichzeitig lebt Neuseeland von einer tief verwurzelten Dynamik: Migration ist gelebte Normalität, nicht Bedrohung. Maori und weiße Siedler teilen sich die Bühne einer bikulturellen Nation – und ringen aktuell um die Frage, wie viel kulturelle Sichtbarkeit gerecht ist. Der Kulturkampf um Identität, Sprache und Privilegien wird mit einer Schärfe geführt, die man sonst nur aus gesättigten Demokratien kennt.Neuseeland bleibt ein Sehnsuchtsort – nicht trotz, sondern wegen seiner Abgeschiedenheit. Die “Tyrannei der Distanz”, einst Nachteil, wird zur Hoffnung für jene, die in einer verwirrenden Welt Ordnung suchen. Doch wer genauer hinschaut, erkennt: Selbst hier, am Rand der Welt, lassen sich globale Konflikte nicht abschütteln – sie zeigen sich nur in anderer Gestalt.Zu Gast:Prof. Dr. Patrick Köllner, Direktor des GIGA-Instituts für Asienstudien, HamburgCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrMentioned in this episode:AI first – Das Praxisbuch für den MittelstandJetzt auf carls-zukunft.de Sonst lesen's wieder nur die Anderen.AI first.

The Treaty Negotiations Minister's standing by amendments to foreshore and seabed legislation, which has passed its third reading. The aim of the Government's Marine and Coastal Areas Act amendments was to restore the legislation to its original intent. But it's been criticised for making it harder for Māori to gain customary marine titles. Treaty Negotiations Minister and Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking most New Zealanders recognise balance is needed in accessing these resources.

This week we're going to learn about a bunch of bats! Thanks to John, Murilo, and Alexandra for their suggestions! Further reading: Why Bats Can't Walk: The Evolutionary Lock That Keeps Them Flying On a Wing and a Song—Bats Belt out High-Pitched Tunes to Woo Mates Why some bats hunt during the day Puzzling Proto-Bats A pekapeka just walking around catching bugs on the ground [photo by Rod Morris, from link above]: BLOOOOOOD! but a really cute smile too: The western red bat looks ready for Halloween! Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week as monster month continues, we're going to learn about bats! We've talked about bats in lots of previous episodes, but we have a lot of really neat information in this one that we've never covered before. Thanks to John, Alexandra, and Murilo for their suggestions! John suggested we learn about diurnal bats and also asked if there are any flightless bats, maybe ones that live on islands. There are lots of island-living bats, and many birds that live on islands evolve to be flightless. It makes sense that bats might do the same thing--but I couldn't find any information about any known bat that has lost the ability to fly. The reason seems to be how highly derived bats are. That means they're specialized, the only mammal known that has ever evolved true flight. Unlike birds, which don't need to use their legs when flying, bats' legs are actually part of the wings. The wing membranes, called patagia, stretch not just between the elongated finger bones of the bat's hands, they also stretch between the arms and legs, and connect the legs too. A January 2025 study comparing bat skeletons to the skeletons of birds determined that unlike in birds, where the size of the legs doesn't have anything to do with the size of the wings, in bats the leg size and the wing size are closely related. If a bat evolves smaller wings, its legs also evolve to become smaller. That's why there are no bats that resemble ostriches, with tiny wings but really long legs. Another possible reason is that bat legs have evolved to point backwards compared to other animals. It's not just the feet, the knees are also rotated backwards. That's why bats hang upside-down when they're not flying. Many species of bat never land on the ground, because they literally can't walk at all. But there are a few species of bats that can walk quite well. One is the increasingly threatened New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat. It lives in a few places in both the North and South Islands, as well as some small islands off the coast, although it used to be much more widespread. It's also called by its Maori name, the pekapeka. The pekapeka mainly lives in forested areas and is quite small. It's brown with a lighter belly, and it has big ears, as do most bats. Its eyes are small and its vision isn't very good, but it has a good sense of smell. Its wings are small so its legs are correspondingly small too, but its legs are also strong despite their size. It has a clawed thumb toe on its feet and on its wings that helps it climb around in trees when it needs to, and it also spends about half of its time on the ground. It walks just fine, crawling with its wings folded so that the ends point up and back, out of the way. And yes, its legs are rotated backwards as you'd expect in a bat, and it roosts by hanging from its feet in trees. The pekapeka flies normally and catches insects using echolocation, just like other microbats throughout the world. It especially likes moths. Unlike almost all other bats, it finds a lot of its food on the ground too, using its sense of smell to track down spiders, insects and larvae, and other small invertebrates. It will actually dig into the dirt and leaf litter to find food. It also eats nectar and flowers, and is an important pollinator of some plants. One great thing about the pekapeka is that the males sing to attract a ma...

The region at the heart of a current measles outbreak has seen the biggest slide in child vaccination rates in in the country. The number of Northland children fully immunised at 24 months of age has dropped about four percent to just 62.3 percent in the past three months with the region lagging way behind other areas. That's despite an overall improvement nationwide. Health target data released today shows 82 percent of two-year-olds have had all their vaccinations up from 76.5 percent last year. There's currently four confirmed measles cases in Northland and one unrelated case in Queenstown. Health Minister Simeon Brown says there's a pop up vaccination clinic operating in Northland and the government's partnered with Hauora Maori organisations to raise immunisation rates. Childhood vacinations also dropped in Whanganui, Nelson Marlborough and Canterbury. Maori paediatrician and chairperson of the National Immunisation Taskforce Dr Owen Sinclair spoke to Lisa Owen.

Humanity has a primordial connection to water. For Indigenous peoples, such as the Māori, Water is an Ancestor, a living entity to be communed with, revered and treated with sacred reciprocity. We owe our lives to the oceans, rivers, lakes and streams of the world. And although marine ecosystems have often been viewed and studied through the abstract lens of economics or science, today, traditional Indigenous knowledge and cultural relationships with marine life and water in all its forms, are at the forefront of a new weaving that blends the ancestral past with the present. There is a growing wish to restore traditional concepts of marine and aquatic cultivation and care, to address climate change, microplastics, health of marine life, contaminants, and aquaculture. If water is an ancestor, what is our obligation to it? How do we restore a harmonious relationship with water, that supports future generations of life, and preserves the lifeways and worldviews of Indigenous peoples? What do the waters of the world ask of us? What should stewardship of marine ecosystems look like? What might we learn from the Māori, expert navigators of the waters, who have long held that their relationship to the land and waters is sacred. To them: Nature is everything.

Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48  Hi, Be It babe. Happy Friday. We're here. It's the end of September. You made it. We are on the precipice of the last quarter, and that can make you freak out. Feel a sense of urgency, feel like you're behind and you're not. You're exactly where you're supposed to be. You're here listening to a Fuck Yeah Friday episode, because you need some inspiration. You need to know that, like, there's good things that are happening out there, and you could be sharing that you can send your wins or your questions into the Be It Pod at beitpod.com/questions there'll be a tab put your questions in, we answer those on Thursdays, and a tab put your wins in, so we can share them here with everybody. And no win is too small to share. Lesley Logan 1:21  So, okay, this inspired me on the internet. It says, in Maori culture, autism is known as, I'm gonna say it crazy, takiwātanga, meaning in their own time and space, in their own time and space. And this powerful word reflects a worldview that honors neurodiversity, seeing each person's way of being as valid, dignified and deserving of respect, rather than focus on deficits. Takiwātanga, if you're a New Zealand person, if you can help me translate that, I'm happy to learn it, encourages inclusion, understanding and the belief that everyone experiences life at their own pace and in their own unique way. Let's embrace perspectives rather than respect mana (inherent dignity) and whanaungatanga (relationships). I learned so many words there. I'll put the link in the show notes so you can read this for yourself, but this is really beautiful to me, because I think there's a lot of talk about autism. There's a lot of more information that we have on it. There's a great podcast about autism and different people, like nonverbal autistic. And I just want to say, like, there are so many people who are saying things about people who are autistic, autistic in a way that makes it sound like we're focusing on, like, what they can't do. And guess what? I'm gonna tell you right now, while I'm not autistic, there's a lot of things I can't do, and we don't have a name for that for me, right? There's not a name for that for you, for the things you can't do. And so what if we actually had names for things that celebrated the positives and what they can do? You know, I think about, like, how I named this podcast. I named this podcast Be It Till You See It, so it focuses on the positive things you could do. Not like, it's gonna suck along the way, but keep going. You know, I named eLevate, our program for teachers who are, you know, diving into teaching at another level, because I want them to elevate their practice. I that's how I choose things, Agency, I want to remind our agency members that they actually have agency to do the things that they want to do. So I share this with you always just to say, like, what if we focus on what makes us unique and celebrated that versus like all the things that someone can't do, right? Lesley Logan 3:26  Now, take this as you will, but I hope that inspires you. And also, I just saw this, and I thought this is the most beautiful thing in the whole world, in their own space and time. We should all be allowed to be in our own space and time. Okay? So that is something that inspired me. There's a link in the show notes to go there and check it out. Lesley Logan 3:45  And we have Katie Donnelly. Okay, I've quietly slipped this onto the internet. I don't have the blog link up yet, and I still need a couple new pictures here, but there it is, LL, says, who says done is better than perfect, thepilatesdoula.com. This was made with Nadine and Digital Brand Kit's website template, and I would recommend it. So, Katie D, thank you for feeling that you can share it with the Be It Pod, your amazing win which is done is better than perfect and your website use a website template to get this done and put up there. And I know by the time that this is airing that it's even more done and even more in the process. But also like, watching you, over these last several years, take one step at a time towards who you want to help, and helping those people has been so beautiful. And you are a perfect example of like we are not on a race. You know you can have the life you want to have and help the people you want to have without overworking, and you really are doing that with grace. And so, thepilatesdoula.com, thank you so much. I'm so glad we got to share that with the world, and can't wait to see what you do next with it. Also, Nadine, y'all, she was on the Be It Pod, we'll put her link to her show in the show notes. And she has, if you want to make a website, she does have a template. She's got some great stuff. Make sure that you use our fabulous links so that they know that you were sent by us, and they give you the special treatment, of course. Lesley Logan 5:08  Okay, now a win of mine. So my win is the since July, I haven't been home for more than two weeks at a time, not at all. And that usually makes me feel like, oh my god, I have to cram all this stuff in. I have to do all these things that I think I've told you guys this, we've, I said, and I've been planning over a year in advance on how to make sure we stay ahead of the game so that I'm not behind. And during those two weeks, I'm not actually cramming to get things in because I want to be sick. And so not only am I not behind on things, I'm actually ahead of everything. Two, I am spending this weekend with my best friend. I'm spending this weekend with her, and I am only home for two weeks, barely, barely two weeks before we're off to Chicago and then off to Cambodia. We'll be gone for 21 days. And of course, I could have been like, no, this is, there's not the right time. She also could have said it's not the right time, it's actually a joint win with us, because she actually is leaving the same day. I'm leaving for Chicago. She's leaving to visit family in Arkansas. Like life is busy, but we are intentional about getting together almost every year. It kind of ends up being every other year, but we do do something together, and so intentionality is important, and celebrating the win that we did it, we did the thing so we can make this happen. We could spend time with each other and just take some time to be with our friends. So when if you say yes to a friend for coffee, and you actually go do it, can you do me a favor, pat yourself on the back and celebrate that win that you did that? You have so many things you could doing, but you spent time with your friend, had a coffee, those coffee dates add up. They're important, all right? So again, an episode to remind you that wins happen in all shapes and sizes and all kinds of different things. Give me a win, and my win is I'm having a great time with a girlfriend in my own hometown, you know, during the during the busy chaos of our travels, because, because friendships are important and we need that. So anyways, if you need tips on how to plan ahead and how to do your schedule and how to do those things, I'm happy to answer them. Let me know if we need to bring guests on. We can make it a series, but just know that, like you can have a lot of what you want, we just have to actually make sure it fits in the schedule and it it's hard to cram things in, and you'll feel like you you you can't say yes to things if you're procrastinating all the time on yourself, right? So do the hard things earlier, and you can say yes to all the fun things. That's enough to say, but we need an affirmation. Lesley Logan 7:34  All right, here we go. The affirmation is I make time to experience grief and sadness when necessary. I make time to experience grief and sadness when necessary. I make time to experience grief and sadness when necessary. Love is feeling your feelings. It's so important. It really is, it really is, and then letting them go. All right now, until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:03  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast. One thing that would help both myself and future listeners is for you to rate the show and leave a review and follow or subscribe for free wherever you listen to your podcast.

Au cœur de la Nouvelle-Zélande, à Rotorua, tous les rêves des touristes deviennent réalité : baignade dans des sources sacrées, haka spectaculaire… Mais à quel prix ? Si la culture maorie est mise en vitrine de ce tourisme, ceux qui en sont les gardiens se retrouvent pourtant marginalisés.   De notre correspondante en Nouvelle-Zélande, Plantée au pied d'un volcan éteint, la vallée géothermique de Rotorua est entrée dans le classement des villes les plus touristiques du pays. Toute l'économie de la région s'est donc développée en ce sens. Les habitants de Whakarewarewa font par exemple visiter leur village construit sur des sources chaudes à plus de 100 °C. « Certains pensent que c'est un décor, mais non, c'est un véritable village maori. Quand on voit le linge sécher sur la corde ou notre cuisine, c'est la preuve que nous habitons ici ! », raconte une habitante. Le ticket est plus cher si les touristes souhaitent assister au spectacle de danse traditionnelle. L'objectif est de mieux rémunérer les interprètes comme Harata Waera, dont c'est le métier à plein temps. « En été, nous pouvons donner jusqu'à trois spectacles par jour, parfois même quatre. Nous interprétons nos chants traditionnels, notamment le haka. Je vois l'émerveillement dans les yeux du public, car beaucoup de gens n'ont pas gardé leur culture ancestrale comme nous, nous la faisons encore vivre aujourd'hui », explique Harata Waera. Mais il est de plus en plus difficile pour les Maoris de préserver leurs habitudes ancestrales. En tant que membre de la communauté, Chanz Mikaere s'était notamment indignée lorsque des touristes ont été autorisés à nager dans une source thermale sacrée : « Quand on accueille des influenceurs ou des stars de TikTok, des YouTubeurs, on voit qu'ils sont habitués à avoir des passe-droits. C'est d'autant plus le cas depuis que Christopher Luxon est Premier ministre. C'est comme s'il censurait les Maoris d'une main et de l'autre, il s'attend à ce que nous "performions" dans le cadre du tourisme. » Le gouvernement néozélandais travaille en coordination avec la mairie de Rotorua pour développer encore plus le tourisme. Parmi les mesures annoncées figure la fermeture des hébergements d'urgence pour les transformer en motels touristiques. Chanz Mikaere y voit une nouvelle forme d'exclusion : « J'ai été sans-abri à un moment de ma vie, mais j'ai pu passer trois mois dans un de ces logements d'urgence. C'est notre normalité en tant que Maoris, c'est la vie en communauté, le partage de nos ressources comme dans une grande famille. Mais actuellement, nous sommes dans le capitalisme, qui provoque l'exact opposé. » L'essor du tourisme à Rotorua entraîne une véritable gentrification menaçant directement la communauté maorie, surreprésentée dans les catégories les plus pauvres de la population.

We often hear about the negative effects of social media, but our next story looks its transformative impact for kaupapa Maori. Its power in connecting with Maori communities was highlighted in the recent Tamaki Makaurau by-election. Te Pati Maori which resoundingly won the seat, ran its campaign almost entirely online. However Labour relied on traditional methods like door-knocking and mainstream media. Auckland University Masters graduate Mia-Mae Taitimu-Stevens has examined this issue.

Thanks for Preston and Pranav for suggesting this week's topics! Further reading: DNA has revealed the origin of this giant ‘mystery' gecko Snow Leopards Dispersed Out of Tibetan Plateau Multiple Times, Researchers Say Conquest of Asia and Europe by snow leopards during the last Ice Ages uncovered The crested gecko AKA the eyelash gecko: The fluffy snow leopard: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a couple of suggestions from Preston and one from Pranav! This is the first episode I've recorded in my new apartment, so let's make it a good one. First, Preston wanted to learn more about the crested gecko, mainly because he has a pet crested gecko named George Washington. That is one of the best gecko names ever! The crested gecko is also called the eyelash gecko. We've talked about it a few times, but not recently at all. It's native to a collection of remote Pacific islands called New Caledonia, where it spends most of its time in trees, eating insects and other small animals, but also fruit, nectar, and lots of other food. It's an omnivore and nocturnal, and can grow more than 10 inches long, or 25 cm. It gets its names from the tiny spines above its eyes that look like eyelashes, and more spines in two rows down its back, like a tiny dragon. It can be brown, reddish, orange, yellow, or gray, with various colored spots, which has made it a popular pet. These days all pet crested geckos were bred in captivity, since it's now protected in the wild. The crested gecko has tiny claws on its toes, which is unusual since most geckos don't have claws. It can drop its tail like other geckos if a predator is after it, but the tail doesn't grow back. Since its tail is prehensile and helps it climb around in trees, you'd think the gecko would have trouble climbing after it loses its tail, but it doesn't. Maybe that's because in addition to claws, like other geckos it has basically microscopic hairlike structures on its toes that allow it to climb smooth surfaces like windows and walls and the trunks of smooth trees. It can also jump long distances to get to a new branch. The crested gecko was discovered by science in 1866, but wasn't seen after that in so long that people thought it was extinct. Then in 1994, a German herpetologist out looking for specimens after a tropical storm found a single crested gecko. It turns out that the geckos had been fine all along, but because they're nocturnal and mostly live in trees, scientists just hadn't spotted any. While we're talking about geckos, Pranav requested that we revisit Delcourt's giant gecko with some updated information. We did mention the new findings back in episode 389, but it's really interesting so let's go over it again. Way back in episode 20 we talked about Delcourt's giant gecko, which is only known from a single museum specimen donated in the 19th century. In 1979 a herpetologist named Alain Delcourt, working in the Marseilles Natural History Museum in France, noticed a big taxidermied lizard in storage and wondered what it was. It wasn't labeled and he didn't recognize it, surprising since it was the biggest gecko he'd ever seen—two feet long, or about 60 cm. He sent photos to several reptile experts and they didn't know what it was either. Finally the specimen was examined and in 1986 it was described as a new species. No one knew anything about the stuffed specimen, including where it was caught. At first researchers thought it might be from New Caledonia since a lot of the museum's other specimens were collected from the Pacific Islands. None of the specimens donated between 1833 and 1869 had any documentation, so it seemed probable the giant gecko was donated during that time and probably collected not long before. More recently there was speculation that it was actually from New Zealand, since it matched Maori lore about a big lizard called the kawekaweau. In June of 2023,
